The Beginning of the Story of Shaytaan

 Shaytaan was from the jinn and the jinns prefated mankind on the earth. They caysed corruption and spilled blood (unjustly) and Allah sent an army of angels against them who struck them till they plunged into the sea. The angels captured Shaytaan who exhibited righteousness and began to worship Allah alongside the angels.

When allah ordered the angels to prostrate to Aadam, Iblees was amongst them. All the angels prostrated except Iblees; who became arrogant and disobeyed Allah´s order. He asked haughtily:

´´Shall I prostrate to one whom You created from clay?´´ (Al-Israa: 61)

Hence, Allah cursed and expelled him from His mercy. Iblees was not remorseful or repentant nor did he seek forgiveness for his error and ask his Lord for pardon. Rather, he became spiteful of Aadam and his children and he began to intimidate and threaten to corrupt mankind and dissuade them from worship. Allah explains his resolve: 

´´And surely, We created you (your father Aadam) and then gave you shape (the noble shape of a human being), then We told the angels; ´Prostrate to Aadam,´ and they prostrated, except Iblees (Satan), he refused to be of those who prostrate. (Allah) said: ´What prevented you (O Iblees) that you did not prostrate, when I commanded you?´ Iblees said: ´I am better than him (Aadam), You created me from fire, and him You created from clay.´ (Allah) said: ´(O Iblees) get down from this (Paradise), it is not for you to be arrogant here. Get out, for you are of those humiliated and disgraced.´ (Iblees) said: ´Allow me respite till the Day they are raised up (i.e. the Day of Resurrection).´ (Allah) said: ´You are of those allowed respite.´ (Iblees) said: ´Because You have sent me astray, surely I will sit in wait against them (human beings) on Your Stright Path. Then I will come to them from before them and behind them, from their right and from their left, and You will not find most of them as thankful ones (i.e. they will not be dutiful to You.´ (Allah) said (to Iblees): ´Get out from this (Paradise) disgraced and expelled. Whoever of them (Mankind) will follow you, then surely I will fill Hell with you all.´´´ (Al-A´raaf: 11-18)

Iblees decevied Aadam till he caused him and his wife to be expelled from Paradise, and consequentlu, explusion of the children of Aadam from Paradise. He will not cease to corrupt and misguide whomever he can.

Salvation

 None will be saved on the Day of Resurrection except he who used to worship alah alone with Whom there is no associate. As for the other gods, they will lead their adherents into the Fire.

Voluntary Fasting

 Fasting is one of the major acts of worship with which Allah redeems the fasting person from the Fire. The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´´Fasting is a shield against the Fire (of Hell) just like the shield one of you would use during fighting.´´80 The supererogatory fasting has its virtue. The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´´He who observes fast for a day in the path of Allah, He will remove his face from the Hell due to (the fast of) that day to the extent of seventy years.´ distance.´´81 The phrase ´in the path of Allah´ could either mean fasting a day sincerely, intending the pleasure of Allah; or fasting in the course of a military expedition in the path of Allah.

Backbiter and Tale-Bearer

 A backbiter is the individual who indugles in backiting which involves mentioning about your brother that which he would detest. The tale-bearer is the person who varries bad tale among the people in order to cause disaffection among them. These sins cause pervading tribulations, and enormous corruption also stems from them. Their perpetrators are among the worst of people and due to their capricious tongue, they speak as dictated by their whims and desires.  Their situation at the time of resurrection will be appalling as the Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam mentioned, Whoever eats the flesh of his brother in the world (i.e. bacjbites), he will be presented to him on the Day of Resurrection and it will be said to him, Eat his dead as you have eaten him alive. He would eat him and he would scowl and scream.
